"Marilyn Minter is famed for her glossy, hyper-realistic paintings, photographs and video works--seductive images that borrow the language of fashion and advertising photography, exploring the boundaries of desire, sensuality and body anxiety in the age of consumption. Close-up imagery of mouths, feet, splashes and puddles, rendered in high-gloss enamel on sheets of metal, subversively questions the pathology of glamour. Produced in conj ..."

"This publication coincides with the debut museum exhibition of this Venezuelan-born, New York-based artist, whose work explores our psychological relationship to visual narrative tropes. In his collages, photographs, sculptures and site-specific murals, Herrera employs figurative and spatial elements of cartoon and animated imagery to produce enigmatic associations that are at once profound and playful. Freudian bulges and folds are can ..."
"Novel fashion photographer Craig McDean-he of the blazing Jil Sander and Calvin Klein campaigns-has a hankering for hot wheels and muscle cars, the kind built in back yards and driveways across America. He also loves to see them drag race, in quasi-formal circuits known as bracket racing. Taking a deliberately studied, off-key approach to the drivers, the machines, and the bonhomie of the small time drag racing circuit-seen in the froze ..."

"Texts by Raimundas Malasauskas, Jean-Charles Massera, Jan Verwoert Interview by Neville Wakefield “Do we actually want the future to be totally unlike the present, or only a little bit different? This is just one of the pressing questions that Kurant’s works raise. Some of her work invokes a world of little differences, small tricks, magic sticks, cloud busters, barking birds, bubbles from a black box, and exits as entrances. Others exa ..."

"Fashion photography in the '90s can be roughly divided into the glamour and grunge schools, with the former drawing much of its inspiration from Helmut Newton and the commercial photographers of the '50s, and the latter dipping into the world of "art" photography for its references. In Fashion: Photography of the Nineties, edited by Camilla Nickerson (senior fashion editor at Vogue) and Neville Wakefield, the connection between th ..."

"Out Of The Blue focuses on the artist's legendary series of paintings based on a single image of Geppetto's worktable. Each image is made unique by the inclusion of different phrases emanating from the smoke in the blown out candle from the image. Exploiting the forced naivety of such 'family-friendly' images and their potential for subliminal rupture, Colen inserts sardonic expressions into the candle's coils of smoke, rendering this s ..."
"Form can only take shape when it struggles against resistance."

"A seminal experience for American photographer Malerie Marder (born 1971) was a family friend's request for Marder to photograph her with her lover, naked and in the anonymous setting of a motel room. This set the tone for Marder's work for the next decade. Her photographs of nudes are composed simply, much like portrait painting, her subjects sitting plainly near the center of the frame, often set against the bleak anonymity of motel r ..."
""In Numbers" is the first volume to address an overlooked art form that is neither artist's book nor ephemera, but is entirely its own unique entity: the artist's serial publication. Across such groundswell moments as the small press boom of the 1960s, the correspondence art movement of the early 1970s and the DIY zine culture of the 1980s and early 1990s, artists have seized on magazine and postcard formats as forms in themselves. Thes ..."
